The European Union is likely to actively pursue Collider and impose civil penalties.

Doing nothing (A) or issuing a reprimand without penalties (D) would be unlikely, given the seriousness of the offense and the EU's commitment to enforcing its antitrust laws. While criminal penalties (B) are also a possibility, civil penalties are more common in cases like this.
